  wwall: 49.Kh3? looks bad. Perhaps better is 49.Bb2 or 49.Kg1 or 49.Qf1

Instead of 49...g5, stronger seems 49...Qd1! 50.Bb2 g5 51.fxg5 hxg5, and if 52.hxg5, then 52...Qh5 mate.

Instead of 52.Qc2?, perhaps 52.Qf1 Qxh4+ 53.Kg1, which may hold out a little longer, but probably still lost for White.
